    1 spaghetti squash - cooked and remove from skin - put in a casserole dish
    Sauté the following in a little olive oil and add to the spaghetti squash
    2 med zucchini - sliced and quartered
    1 can artichoke
    1 can no salt diced tomato
    1 red pepper
    Salt, pepper, red chilies, Italian seasoning

    Bake at 350 for 1/2 hour or more depending on how soft you want the veggies. I like them pretty firm.

    It makes 8 servings and they are 70 calories each.

    I make this twice a week and it is my "go to" food if I need something to fill me up.

    Summer-Squash Gratin with Gruyére

    YIELD: 8 servings

    COURSE: Casseroles, Side Dishes/Vegetables

    Ingredients
    1 3/4 pounds Yukon gold or red potato (about 9 potatoes)
    1/3 cup all-purpose flour
    1/2 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
    1 1/2 cups 1% low-fat milk
    1/4 cup dry white wine
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    1 cup (4 ounces) grated Gruye@Sre cheese
    Cooking spray
    1 cup thinly sliced onion
    2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
    2 cups thinly sliced zucchini (about 1 pound)
    2 cups thinly sliced yellow squash (about 1 pound)
    1/3 cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
    2 teaspoons olive oil

    Preparation
    Preheat oven to 375°.

    Pierce potatoes with a fork; arrange in a circle on paper towels in microwave oven; cover with wax paper. Microwave at high 5 minutes or until crisp-tender; cool. Thinly slice potatoes.

    Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour and broth in a medium saucepan; stir with a whisk. Stir in milk and next 5 ingredients (milk through garlic). Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat, and cook until thick (about 10 minutes), stirring constantly with a whisk. Remove from heat; add cheese, stirring until cheese melts.

    Arrange half of potato slices in the bottom of a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Top with half of the onion, oregano, zucchini, yellow squash, and cheese sauce. Repeat procedure with remaining potato, onion, oregano, zucchini, squash, and cheese sauce.

    Bake at 375° for 1 hour or until gratin is tender. Combine breadcrumbs and oil in a small bowl; toss well. Sprinkle breadcrumb mixture over gratin.

    Preheat broiler.

    Broil gratin 30 seconds or until breadcrumbs are lightly browned. Let stand 10 minutes.
